Imphal, February 18 2015:
Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has urged the higher authority of Manipur University to set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe alleged misconduct in the pre-PhD entrance tests of the university.
According to a statement, the pre-PhD entrance tests of various departments of Manipur University have been marred by nepotism.
Instead of selecting the best candidates for carrying out research works in the university, the teachers are trying to select only their near ones.
There are several complaints of question leak in the PhD entrance test of Physics Department, it said.
DESAM further demanded that a common pre-PhD entrance test be conducted instead of separate entrance tests of the departments.
